During the show it was announced that BBC Radio One DJ Greg James had raised £1,090,522 for Sport Relief by cycling the UK's three highest mountains and the distances between them. The DJ's attempt was disrupted by the extreme weather conditions at the start of this month but he kept a promise to resume it and completed the task a week ago.

The One Show presenter Alex Jones and a group of mums helped raise over £790,000 by undertaking various endeavours including swimming in Loch Ness.

The show, broadcast live from Salford, also featured a sketch showing John Bishop on a mission to help England win the World Cup.

The programme was the culmination of a week of events taking place around the country.
